I’m thinking about Booshkie Records.

[@alfiearock]

For most musicians becoming a record label was never part of the dream, the thpught of doing so now comes from realizing you have an opportunity to cut out a cold hearted third party from owning 75 % or more of you're creations is what motivates the idea of becoming a record label yourself.

[@GamaheaMusic]

Absolutely 💯

[@ZerotoHeroic]

Yes it's better to get the money to start up by yourself than getting ripped off of your art. They complaint about investing money on an Artist, money can be made back but an art can't be.

[@BlastFaceR]

I started My Record Label over a month ago, and everything you talked about today is what im experiencing myself. Good topic and im learning a lot. Thank you....

[@TheMavynonIG]

I think the most important part about building is disregarding all the false narratives & working at your own pace during all that's goin on in the world..especially if you want to do it the correct way. 💯

[@LighttheCelestial]

Super blessed i found this channel 🤝🕺🏾

[@TopMusicAttorney]

Welcome to the community. Let me know if there's anything on the channel that you would like me to cover.

[@NickoVasley]

It is going to be about a month and a half from now before I can SAFELY afford the one-time payment. I am for sure committing once that time arrives. As for now, I will be consuming the other content. I already appreciate the knowledge I have gotten from you on your other videos.... I am sure this course is the EXACT thing I'm looking for to really get things going professionally. Thank you for all the hard work you do.

[@frankandrews40]

I am getting your record label course tomorrow when I get paid. I bought the sync course and it was so helpful that I know the label course will be incredible. I've been looking for this kind of help. Thank you for what you do. I'm also thinking about going more direct to audience with my music rather than streaming.

[@TopMusicAttorney]

That's amazing! Just so you know the first 25 people to sign up get to go through the course with me in a special group.

[@jennifergee138]

That's amazing!!

[@toneman501]

This is exactly the kind of thing that young (& old ) musicians NEED to watch....and understand...

[@thebandcontemporary]

I love your content. We started our own label - Contemporary Church Records

[@TopMusicAttorney]

Congratulations! Please feel free to email me directly at [e-mail] and we can chat about your progress.

[@itsmrdonperignon]

Im trying to make my brand but im apart of an independent label but i also want my own label i have been offered a manager tht would help my career but i needed a music lawyer and ive been scared to sign it but i watch ur channel

[@jennifergee138]

For real though, this channel, the fb group, the courses....theyre EVERYTHING 🎉🎉

[@whatkingdom9712]

Just started a uk label myself. It’s more about putting my own music out really and thought best way to do it. I’m pressing 100-200 vinyls and it’s been quite stressful but the main thing that’s really helped for a new label is getting a good distributor… I’m not making money at the mo but it’s all about growing my social media and getting the name out. Sm is so important it’s the main thing I’m concentrating on but thinking up content is not easy. A lot of mistakes made along the way but every release I’m learning from this… it’s still early days but great to see the progress each time I put out. Thanks for this advice. Only just discovered your channel but gonna really start working on it more professionally. Think you can really help me grow. Nice one !mage Recordings

[@jackrighteous]

Learned so much! ❤

[@DrixxMadison]

Thanks for doing what you do.🔥🔥

[@bLiNdEDM]

I could probably use some help with Braille Records. I'll be buying your templates when the occasion arises.

[@synthoelectro]

been running a record label since 2014, but I'm just going to listen to this video and see if my blundering 9 years ago was the right move.

[@TopMusicAttorney]

That's great that you started a label. I just released a course yesterday on building record labels. There's quite a few members who have already have labels that are in the program to fill in any gaps that they are missing with their own business. They found it very helpful. What does your label specialize in?

[@girardstudio]

I really liked your video.

[@DaRappaDappa]

Thank you. It was helpful. HardPager Entertainment.

[@kassandreiaoellinas963]

Passion Stained Records! In music business degree program now at local community college here in AZ, PVCC!!! Watched this twice! Will be going on your website first thing in the morning to learn about your courses for starting a label! Hoping to sign on artists that want to blend two or more genres such as Soul, R&B, blues, Rock, Alternative, and even various jazz styles!

[@MissKrystlelive]

Let's go 🙌

[@skyhorseprice6591]

I just found this channel a couple days ago through your video with Fil of Wings Of Pegasus. So I checked y'all out and I gotta say you are _KillinIt_ with galactic level information presentation. And ..I dont think anyone else is doing what you are doing, so you have got a definite 'home field advantage.' Think Imma stick around awhile❤

[@Fordmusicgroup]

Thank you for this information. I am starting my label Ford Music Group so this course will be very beneficial to me. Thank you. 😊

[@BarkingForBroccoliBG]

I read a book years titled "How to start a Record Label" written by a Caucasian School Teacher that rapped for her students in either the 1980s or 1990s. It was way before streaming when people would get Cds cassette tapes land vinyl from disk makers

[@ServingMyJesus]

Not long after I posted the question, you answered it. Thank you.

[@ichigen511]

This is all very fascinating and inspiring I'm glad the KZbin A.I. pays atention to what I am interested this just popped up and I'm better for it. Liked and subscribed I look forward to diving into this channel and watching further content. Cheers!

[@frankliebe]

my target is to "eat my own dogfood - releasing my own stuff and being my own publisher"... I think everybody who is "taff" enought should build its own company.. earn all the money by itself ...but also have to handle all issues that comes with it.. I really love to do every process of the whole process by my self.

[@jeromeskies8992]

This is my favorite channel right now. I got your course last night. Can you talk about United Masters? Do you get better deals with a distributor if you are a label? I have 2 other artists that I am planning to have on my label once I get everything registered.

[@TopMusicAttorney]

Absolutely, you can negotiate deals with your distributors and have more leverage with the more artists you bring to the party.. I've gotten a few requests for United Masters. If I get a few more I may do a video. I'm super excited you got the record label course last night, I think I saw you order come in after the livestream. Looking forward to going through it with you. 😀

[@RandomVelocity]

Great idea especially since record companies have completely screwed over artists when streaming became a thing.

[@KurtRock3]

My record label/publishing company I have is 4th Dimension Records, LLC. I have a DBA under 6th Dimension Publishing, LLC. but I plan to eventually make it its own separate entity. I made a DBA atm so I could get registered as a publisher with BMI

[@IJAHWAY]

Great video.

Didn't expect a reference to real estate entrepreneur Grant Cardone but I also feel he knows how to push the envelope in a positive way (when he doesn't talk politics:)

[@redcurrantrecords]

Exactly

[@GamaheaMusic]

I've made 4 albums and 150+ songs on Udio in the last 2 or 3 months. I've now made a YT channel, though I need to fix it up a bit and correct some stuff. Still haven't uploaded content, I want to secure copyright first. That means more to me than monetization, but I'd like that too, of course. 😉

[@raymondjallen]

I’m thinking about Booshkie Records.

[@wolflahti412]

The problem with this is creative types often suck badly at business and marketing. (I know I do!) That's why there are agents and managers.

I'm a professional stagehand, and I am also a hard rock and metal lead and rhythm guitarist whom does all of his music production, songwriting, album artwork, digital artwork, etc. I do it all. because being independent from a trashy industry that of which I am strongly passionate about doing what I love, and getting paid to do what I love... I'd rather be independent. It's a very rough and tough industry to even work in. No matter how you look at it. Even being a professional stagehand is a very frustraighting industry by itself. The politics that are involved are ABSOLUTE TRASH.

[@2_Normal_Ted_Junior]

I want to create a great alternative to the existing streaming platforms for music lovers that also addresses the problems with capitalism’s involvement, with grifters, etc. I just don’t know adopt the revenue model, one that would provide that to the artists fairly and also undercut the shot out of the Spotifys. I want to prove the superiority of intelligence with benevolence over intelligence with greed. I’d love to be hated by the companies serving stakeholders.

[@ClevelandDelaney]

After actually contacting this office and talking to some dude I specifically stated I will only do business with Krystle. The reason why is because men are super narcissistic. I sent over the authentic contract and this guy emailed me back insulting my intelligence thinking I'm dumb enough to have a fake contract. We spend time at the celebrity mansion and recorded the songs at the mansion and was handed the contract in person. This guy only wanted to add extra $2000 in fees stating that if I want them to research to see if the contract is real then that's the extra cost 😂 wow. That's why I only do business with women. He didn't even tell Krystle I guarantee it. I'll find another lawyer. He's going to be the reason they lose business. I was going to actually tip like 10k but I refuse to have my intelligence insulted. You failed.

[@Occult_Library_Drive]

lol I'm not getting an llc until I make a mill and if anyone sues me before then then its off with their head... you know what I'm saying?

[@Stummpmusic]

My question is, should producers (like myself) obtain an entertainment lawyer to legally shop tracks to artists? Like if I wanted to showcase tracks for Drake, will a lawyer help on the business?

What artists are on your "label"?

[@iNtRoVeRsIoNaLiSm]

What about the ones who are talented and doing this stuff but don't know the right people. It just seems like if you don't know anybody, you can't be anybody.

[@bertrandbest]

I feel like “what you know” still has the ability to bring you to the table with “who you know” and will keep you at the table. The use of them both is key, iron sharpens iron💯
